Safe to say the Red Devils limped to Stockholm, as injuries and congested fixtures took a toll on Mourinho’s men.

They were ‘lucky’ to avoid a threatening Lyon in the semi and quarterfinals, but, the paper underdogs Anderlecht and Celta Vigo did bring their A games against the England (sleeping) giants.

Not killing the game when they had a chance to always came back to haunt them, as it meant the calm and composure needed could turn into panic and careless mistakes when the opposition came threatening. A good example would be Celta Vigo’s last kick of the game in the second leg of the semis, where, had John Guidetti controlled and slotted home, United would be out of the competition, regretting the glorious missed chances.
